What happens when 125 B2B marketers ditch their screens for a night in NYC? You get a room full of ideas, laughs, and way too many LinkedIn QR codes flying around. We hosted the Exit Five NYC Meetup last month, and it made us wish we could do this every month. We kicked things off with speed networking, fueled by drinks, apps, and some next-level cookies from Customer.io. They even handed out prizes to our most engaged networkers because marketers love a little friendly competition. We spend most of our days online, so face-to-face time feels more meaningful than ever. Real convos. Real connections. More meetups are coming in 2026. Until then, check the community, local chapters are already running events in 22 other cities.

AI’s biggest flaw? It’s not a mind reader. You rewrite the prompt. Then tweak it. Then tweak it again. And it still doesn’t do the thing. Jake and Pete nailed it at Drive. The frustration isn’t that AI’s dumb. It’s that it’s almost smart enough. Just close enough to keep you chasing the perfect prompt. You end up in a loop, telling it to fix it over and over… and somehow it gets worse. Next thing you know, you’ve spent an hour arguing with a robot that keeps saying “you’re right” before doing it wrong again. What’s your biggest AI frustration right now?

Diane Wiredu 🦁’s talk on messaging at Drive has been stuck in our heads ever since. She broke down “messaging bloat,” when you cram every feature, adjective, and angle into your copy until it stops meaning anything. Her fix: simplify. Ask one question, if your brand could only be known for one thing, what would it be? That’s your message. Start there, and build from it. Catch Diane’s full talk from Drive below 👇

The secret to planning a great event starts with the marketing. It’s easy to jump straight into logistics, but that’s actually step two. Before you plan anything, think about the offer. 🪝 What’s the hook? 📅 Why would someone take time out of their week to go? Once you’re clear on that, the logistics come together naturally.

People need community. A sounding board. A place to connect, trade ideas, and feel understood. That’s what Exit Five is. A space for B2B marketers to learn, grow, and talk shop with people who actually get it. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Dmitry. Because yeah… your neighbor doesn’t care about your MQLs. But we do.
